Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The important concept of the boundary layer is introduced. We study the laminar, thermal and turbulent boundary layers and also derive a system of boundary layer equations. The concept of the boundary layer thickness is considered and the separation of the boundary layer is discussed. The general profile of the average velocity of the turbulent flow near a smooth wall, and the effects of roughness are being studied. The notion of the roughness parameter is defined.
Keywords:
Boundary layer, Boundary layer separation, Boundary layer thickness, Friction velocity, Prandtl number, Roughness parameter, Thermal boundary layer, Turbulent boundary layer, Viscous sublayer.
